I have been bidding on Ebay for one of these for the past few weeks!! Since we know our kiddies keep us quite accountable, and I'm working on trying to cook better for my family, I really want one to write our daily menu..."Beef...it's what's for dinner!"--memba that one!?Thanks, Jen

I typed in a few things I would write on the chalkboard like the kids reminder to empty the diswasher or an inspirational quote. Then I decided this was for me if I won it soooo I would write "MOM'S WISH LIST". Merry Christmas to me !!! Fa la la la la !!!

I would write sweet notes to my little girls every morning so as they eat their breakfast they can read something special from their Mum! Also, would be nice to write " Welcome Home" to my Dear Hubby coming back from overseas soon!!!!!

It's gorgeous..I would write something smoochy and sentimental,Like "Mum loves you more than you could ever imagine, even when your room looks like a demolition yard"..True love sees through anything..Ha ha...xx

Here's my version:I love my family and friends. You, are always welcome in my home. I hope our home is a haven for you and that you will always feel safe here. If you need to talk, I'm here. If you want me to listen without judging, I will.

Probably because I have middle schoolers. On a particular evening, I would leave a menu. Right now, my kids needs overshadow that and I want them to know it.

I would scroll~"If you leave your children unattended....I will give them a cup of espresso and a free puppy!"Being a mother of 3...I saw this in a store and it made me laugh!Looking forward to the unveiling of the kitchen!

I would write love notes to the hubby before leaving for work or out for a girl's night. We generally don't cross paths much during the day, so we usually just write on our ugly white board in the kitchen.

I just don't tell my big kids often enough that I love them. They don't live at the "Coop" as they are all grown up and have families of their own and when they come over, its always so hurry, hurry, especially this time of year. So, I would simply write thier names and then say, "your Momma loves you!"
